Tidy Plates: Threat Plates

About:

Tidy Plates: Threat Plates (TPTP for short) is a theme for use with Tidy Plateswith patch 5.0.4 or later WoW client. It offers a high amount of customization and tweaks to how your nameplates react and look. It also offers some unique features that are not available with any other nameplate addon. I've spent a considerable amount of time improving this addon and any comments or concerns about this addon are appreciated. I'm always looking for ways to improve this addon.

Features:

SharedMedia support and many, many, options for name, health, level, and spell text. As well as all of the standard nameplate features such as castbar and icon, elite icons / textures, skull icons / textures, raid marks, and healthbar coloring/alpha/scale.

Ace3 profiling.

Low memory footprint.

Threat system management.

Automatic talent detection and role assigning for an easy out of the box setup.

Customizable widgets.

Customizable totem nameplates.

Customizable nameplates for extra customization for specifically named units.

Commands:

/tptp - Displays options.

/tptptoggle - Toggle Role from one to the other.

/tptpdps - Toggles DPS/Healing threat plates.

/tptptank - Toggles Tank threat plates.

/tptpol - Toggles nameplate overlapping.

/tptpverbose - Toggles addon feedback text.

Additional Information:

A considerable amount of information about options and its internal priorities are not gone into details. Most options that are enable or disable based will toggle off options that are no longer changeable once enabled or disabled. If you have any questions about options and what they do, feel free to leave a comment or PM me here for more information.

Thanks! Unrelated question: when soloing ive noticed a range gap between where npc names disappear and nameplates appear resulting in mobs running around with nothing over their heads. There a reason for this and better yet, a fix? I need names or nameplates, cant have trash without either as quite often they are mobs around me that I cannot even see because they arent moving and im zoomed out too far to notice them amongst the surroundings.

If I mark something, fly away from it and target something else, and then fly back, things get all messed up. It overlaps the nameplates and it causes fps to drop over the marked creature. It is fixed when the creature is unmarked. Is there a possible temporary fix that I can just disable the color by mark?

Also, I'd like to comment that I love the addon, and hope to see a different options for the short debuff widget like a filter, and maybe more options for the combo point widget (like different styles/art)

Basically it seems everything within nameplate range (seems ike 35 yards) is having their names removed, but nameplates are only showing for stuff thats actually in combat with me. Some alpha settings gone bad?

Got a long string of errors from threat plates (latest) tonight during raid. Something about a variable called "R" being nil, I think. Sorry I didn't get the details, but by the time I got done raiding, I was half asleep.

It manifested in game as the names of mobs in one boss fight being actually mob names from the previous fight. For example, one of the trash mobs in the Lady Deathwhisper fight was "Lord Marrowgar". Very confusing.

Maybe I'm blind...., but is there an option to disable the coloring of the hpbar based on the raid target mark? I color the bar based on threat, and that's really causing me problems

NVM: while writing this I tried "/run TidyPlatesThreat.db.profile.settings.raidicon.hpColor = false" and that takes care of my issue. An option in the UI for it would be nice though
NVM #2: Just read the comment on the main addon page about the addition of the raid target coloring and the lack of options at this time...

Another issue I seem to have is the highlight frame. In order to have it visible during combat I need to bring the frame level up to 20-something, but I also have my raid mark positioned to be centered on the left edge of the bar and with the frame strata of the highlight frame that high, it goes over the raid mark.
Maybe bump up the strata of the raid mark? Or give us an option to change it like the highlight frame/elite marker?
